This is the first time in France for the Swiss startup CleanMotion to test in real conditions its self-disinfecting handle which has more than two million views on LinkedIn. The test will take place at the heart of the Campus by CA, Route de Paris, with volunteer employees from February 11th to March 3rd, 2021.
The Village by CA Atlantique Vendée, the startup gas pedal, has volunteered to test the innovation with the villagers (startups and partners) as well as the Campus by CA employees. The product will be tested with volunteers and will be subject to sanitary measures with hand washing before and after use. The objective of this test will be to develop the current prototype based on user feedback on criteria such as functionality, aesthetics and handling.
Feedback on the maintenance part is also essential in order to facilitate long-term use. GSF Propreté & Services is responsible for cleaning all the areas of the Campus by CA and will mobilize its teams on the technical part of the self-disinfecting handle. The service will include the replacement of the hydroalcoholic solution tanks, the sponge and the batteries. GSF’s research and development department will also be involved to provide technical input on future IOT topics.
The idea of CleanMotion was born from one of its two founders who encountered a recurrent problem when leaving public sanitary areas, which is that of having hands that are never properly disinfected. He worked on the subject and from a project initially focused on restaurants in Switzerland, he realized that it was actually a more global and specific problem depending on the structures (hospitals, ehpads, hotels, large companies …) The product presentation video broadcasted during CES 2021 which took place from January 11 to 14 was a springboard for the startup thanks to the many influential media such as Interesting Engineering.
“We had made a video to have something to show at CES 2021 if we couldn’t get the product tested, but we never imagined such media coverage and excitement for the handle. Currently, we have over 700 emails to process and the incoming demand is growing every day. This event also allowed us to get in touch with contacts and companies, which allowed us to clarify our business model and redefine our target. Christophe Bouvier, Co-manager of CleanMotion.
